Great Metal Detecting Simulator Made by Up and Coming Developer

By
Ben Wiest is a 16 year old aspiring game developer from Wisconsin. Ben sure did good with this game, and I would like to see more from him. The game I am talking about is a game made by Ben called "Detector Island: A Metal Detecting Game".

(Here is a handy link): 



As I played this game there were a few aspects that I were most impressed with. For one, being able to purchase metal detector upgrades and skins with points was a great idea! Second, and this may just be a personal thing, exploring the terrain of the map was so enjoyable, especially climbing.

I got to speak with Ben, and learned some about him and his motivation for the game, this is what I learned:

"I started working on Detector Island after coming up with the idea to make a metal detecting game, with it being snowy outside and not being able to go detecting in real life, as it’s a fun pass time of mine.

Another Great Game

Love the game. I really appreciate the presentation of the game as well. This is exactly the type of game I hoped for out of this game jam. Even though the developer says this is badly put together, I have seen much worse; and this game is pretty fun as well.

My friend's new game.

By
Before I begin today's post, I have to excuse my absence over the past few weeks. It goes without saying I am extremely busy, but that serves as no excuse. On the plus side my blog is starting a brand new game jam (you can check it out on the game jams page). I am pretty stoked about this new game jam because we have reached double digits in the amount of people joined, and that is a beginning milestone (because lately I have been struggling with my game jams).

So, onto the post!

I hope we all remember my good friend Ben, the creator of Detector Island. Well, he is creating a new game and someone has the dev logs to show you. Remember that this kid is only 17 and the game looks amazing even now.

Dev logs











I think that while I am at it I will post Detector Island as well.
